I tried to get this posted for Star Wars day but didn't quite make it in time.<br /><br />This is the third Star Wars Book he's commissioned from me, every book besides the Yoda sculpture. I honestly thought I was going to have to tell the client I couldn't do this one. &nbsp;I scraped the legs twice before I finally got it right. &nbsp;Ughhh. &nbsp;<br /><br />Anyway, &nbsp;I don't know how many working hours this took. &nbsp;I lost count. &nbsp;It's been an ongoing project since December, though I've had to take breaks to complete other projects on time. &nbsp;The Walker is about 18" tall. &nbsp;I tried to follow photos as closely as possible, but they seemed to vary depending on the source, so it's probably a combination of different takes on the AT-AT. &nbsp;Commissioned piece for a Star Wars lover.

This was a commissioned piece. Quite honestly, I was absolutely terrified of making this one and I'm sure I hyperventilated more than a few times. Once I had it hollowed out, it sat on my dresser for a week before I had the nerve to start it :/ Probably the most detail I've ever had to fit in to such a condensed space. Because of the detail the sculpture is fairly heavy. All of the rings had to be reinforced with card stock and cardboard to prevent a cave in. The "rock" texture is paper mache. While I couldn't fit the entire King's castle, I did mange the face of it along with the statues, fountain, garden, tower and tree. <br /><br />I'll post another photo for ring detail.Minas Tirith from "The Lord of the Rings".

They weren't books I would typically use. They're the huge coffee table books (this one open measures about 20 inches). But, lucky for me, there was a book about the migratory patterns of ducks and geese. Perfect timing.

In the story, the children's evil stepmother decides they are a hindrance, so she turns the brothers into swans, only regaining their human form at night, and sends Elise away. Years later, Elise and her brothers reunite. She weaves a net and her brothers carry her across the ocean. Once safe, Elise releases the brothers from the spell by taking a vow of silence and weaving magic shirts made from nettles and they live happily ever after. The princess is an illustration from the book fitted with a paper dress. Each swan is suspended with a clear thread. The mobile hangs approximately 24" long and 12" wide. It weighs less than one pound.<br /><br />Available for sale: <a class="external" href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?https://www.etsy.com/listing/127349740/the-wild-swans-book-sculpture">[link]</a>Made from the pages of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Wild Geese", these brother swans carry Princess Elise to safety.

The woman who ordered this was nice enough to give me the page numbers where descriptions of the circus could be found. I made the mistake of reading past those pages and completely fell in love with this book. If you have some free time, grab a copy. It's brilliant. One of the reasons why it's so good is because it's so descriptive. Great for a reader but it makes my job so much harder. I got in as much detail as I could; the fence surrounding the circus, the bonfire in the cauldron, the shape shifting clock with clouds on it's face and a juggler (who juggles a number of balls corresponding the the time - 3 o'clock = 3 balls) and the black and white stripped tents. I managed to get a circus follower with his token red scarf on there too. This has been my most time consuming piece, it's taken about two weeks off and on thanks to all those little pieces. Now my hands hurt and I'm taking a few days off...probably not but one can dream <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)"/>Commissioned piece.
